Fashion Notes.

A good deal of both real and imitation
Mcchlin is used in lingerie.
Brides must wear the square train. 1t
is part of the sacrifcial uniform.
Gorgeous jcweled insects, unknown to
the cntomologist, are favorite scarf pins.
Plush forms the trimming of some very
stylish thin dresses in gossamer fabrics.
Real Jewels are seen in some of the
handles of this seasons luxurious para
soils.
See that your handkerchiefs all have
narrow hens if you would be in the
fashion.
Primrose color is one of the favorites
this season as it combines with nearly
every shade.
Soft chamois or caster gloves are better
than gants de Swede for travelling, being
more durable.
Pique is used for the collars and cuffs
accompanying tailor-made costumes, also
tie of the same.
Biscuit color and heliotrope is a very
pretty combination and more stylish than
any other light shades.
Plaid sashcs are worn by little girls,
but they are never so pretty as the Ro.
man sash in delicate tints.
The purse should be of bag shape and
! made of soft leather The card case
should be as compact as possible.
A light wrapper of jersey flannel is
light in weight and warm and makes a
most comfortable bed gown possible.
A double breasted vest of linen duck OF
pique is very stylish for morning wear
with almost any sort of costume for sum-
mer.
Plain skirts with two butterflies wings
at the side are very stylish for small fig
ures, but are very awkward for large
woman.
A pattern costume of plain and
striped Roman silk is one of the most ap-
propriate novelties shown by Partisan
,, modistes.
Large plaids for costumes and petit
coats will continue to be stylish, and a
French jersey invariably accompanies
such dress.
Trellis bonnets in white have green
foliage for trimming, and are very stylish
and becoming, looking the emblem of
summer time.
Travelling cloaks of small checks in
black and white are stylish and also ap.
propriatc for summer wear, and are made
in the Raglan style.
A travelling costume should not be OF
rough material which can hold cinders
and dust. Serge is the best possible fab
ric for this purpose.
Paris frocks are far from simple. They
have very ornamental sleeves, looped
draperies, and all sorts of trimmings on
the bodice as we'll as the skirts, but such
dresses are used for none but dresSy oc.
casions.
Old-fashioned pink and blue frocks OF
diaphanous cotton and wooden stuffS,
muslins. zcphyrs, batiStes, bcrcgcs, nous
sclines de laine, crepes and even silk
gauzes are revived for dressy as well as
Simple summer toilets.
The most economical summer toilet
for a woman of limited means is trock
of white or cream lace, made so as to be
worn over any kind of an under dress of
silk or surah, black. white, blue, pink,
yellow, green or lilac.
All fashionable dressy frocks, even
when worn in the street, have sleeves
not more than threc-quarter length, or
reaching just little below the elbow,
while with such sleeves long ght-button
length gloves arc de rigeuer.
A popular summer fancy is to have the
panels or the front breadths Of the skirt,
or the entire pctticoat and the plastron,
and occasionally elbow putfs Of tho
sleeves, of white lace or white cmbroid-
cred muslin, while the rest of the dress
is of colored material, silk. cotton or
wool.
